A good MO like a good equivoque, for me, is a thing of beauty. I really like the look of this effect and will definitely be buying it. Really appreciate the fact that every option is presented in the trailer.

Might order this purely because they showed every out in the trailer. That transparency is very respectable.

This looks excellent and very well thought out.
A notable mention for another effect with strong multiple outs should go to Decision Point by David Regal. This has a different feel, and the Elephant and Tumi reveals are imo simply superb. |

Ordered. This is how all trailers should be.

Think I prefer Decision Point. The elephant reveal is strong but not sure about some of the others.

It makes a pleasant change to see such an honest trailer well done.

I do think the label on the envelope should remain in view (even if only peripherally), for the Cornicello out to play most strongly ('you've been looking at the Cornicello all the time...') |

Btw what is the justification for bringing out a casino chip?

Very strong effect and appreciate the transparency in the trailer. I think the price point is a little on the high side, but not by much. Definitely considering.

A poker chip could be considered lucky, especially to a gambler, but Nikolas has a lovely line that ties it back to the theme: "Its a poker chip from Las Vegas, where people go to gamble if they feel lucky. Last time I visited, there was only one casino I was lucky enough to win at, so this became my lucky charm… please turn it over." (and they see that chip is from the Horseshoe Casino) |

This looks great. I don’t have this yet, but would be inclined to try trading out the poker chip for an actual horse shoe charm. I imagine these would be pretty easy to source. This could then be handed to your spectator as a keepsake.

I have this on the way and hope the envelope holds up, but would have liked it in Tyvek.

After all, the effect hinges around charms. Neil |

Really mess with their heads- After FORTUNA, pull out a Bank Night effect and have them choose the same charm by that method.
How many magicians does it take to change a lightbulb? Regardless, for magicians darkness is a time for d'lite.
